Violin & Viola Studios
Violin/ Viola students enjoy an intense study in our rich repertoire. 蜜桃影像 String Area provides ample performance and collaborative opportunities through Northern Lights String Orchestra, Fairbanks Symphony Orchestra, Music at One, chamber music courses, faculty collaborations, and weekly performance masterclasses. Two options for study include Class Violin/Viola Lessons or Private Violin/Viola Lessons.
Class lessons do not require an end of semester jury and meet once a week in a group lesson.
Private lessons come with a more one on one experience, perfect for students who seek a more in-depth study. It offers a weekly one hour lesson, a large ensemble requirement (NLSO or FSO), piano rehearsals and coaching with collaborative pianist Dr. Lorna Eder, an end of semester jury, and a weekly masterclass.
We encourage non-music majors, music minors, and music majors alike.
